The tenth anniversary of India's and Pakistan's 1998 nuclear tests enables scholars to revisit the issue of South Asian proliferation with a decade of hindsight. What lessons do the intervening years hold regarding nuclear weapons' impact on South Asian security? Some scholars claim that nuclear weapons had a beneficial effect during this period, helping to stabilize historically volatile Indo-Pakistani relations. Such optimistic analyses of proliferation's regional security impact are mistaken, however. Nuclear weapons have had two destabilizing effects on the South Asian security environment. First, nuclear weapons' ability to shield Pakistan against all-out Indian retaliation, and to attract international attention to Pakistan's dispute with India, encouraged aggressive Pakistani behavior. This, in turn, provoked forceful Indian responses, ranging from large-scale mobilization to limited war. Although the resulting Indo-Pakistani crises did not lead to nuclear or full-scale conventional conflict, such fortunate outcomes were not guaranteed and did not result primarily from nuclear deterrence. Second, these Indo-Pakistani crises led India to adopt a more aggressive conventional military posture toward Pakistan. This development could exacerbate regional security-dilemma dynamics and increase the likelihood of Indo-Pakistani conflict in years to come. Thus nuclear weapons not only destabilized South Asia in the first decade after the nuclear tests; they may damage the regional security environment well into the future.

Insulation Status

According to the regional security complex theory, Afghanistan had been among the insulated countries by September 11th, but afterwards, Afghanistan couldnot have been categorized under insulated countries. It has entered South Asian Security Scenarios, and some researchers believe that it is part of this regional security complex. This research is focused on what impacts the non-security dynamics have had on Afghanistan exit from insulation status and joining the South Asian Regional Security Complex. In addition to security interdependence, existence of amity and enmity patterns, geographical proximity, presence of at least two powerful and effective actors, and the cultural and racial correlations are characteristics of every regional security complex. Some of these cases refer back to non-security dynamics, which have been discussed in this research. Issues such as cultural, ethnicity and sectarian contradictions, and a set of economic cooperations, and also Afghanistan membership in SAARC Organization can be considered as security dynamics in the region.
